Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 85: Disgrace to brotherhood
Henry's fingers curled around the doorknob, grasping it. He turned the handle and it creaked under his grip, swinging open easily. He realized it was already ajar. Startled, he pushed the door wide open, and with a quick scan of the room, he noticed fresh footprints on the floor.Sage had probably just returned from her place now.As he walked into the room, a derisive smile appeared on his face.Each piece of furniture was beautiful and well-made. The smooth lines and perfect joints showed that the craftsmen were very skilled and probably top-notch.The furniture had intricate patterns and delicate designs that made it look elegant, made with expensive wood and soft cushions.Henry couldn't believe Sage, honestly. He had the audacity to use his ex-girlfriend's money for all of this??Henry's anger surged, his face burning red. He couldn't fathom how someone could stoop so low. And to make matters worse, Sage had betrayed her with her best friend. Now, he went ahead and threatened h
Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 86: Have you heard from you lawyer recently?
Henry and Sage stared at each other with strong intensity, like they were in a battle room. The tension between them was similar to two wrestlers ready to fight in the middle of a ring.The room fell into a heavy silence as they kept their gazes on each other. This went on for some minutes before Sage broke the silence.His voice sliced through the air. "Get out of my house," Sage commanded, his tone icy.But under the cold surface, he was burning in fury. Sage squeezed his fists so tightly that the tendons stood out like ropes. The corners of Henry's mouth turned upward in mockery and disgust. "So now you know that you did is the real, ultimate shame to brotherhood. And if justice were to be given to this, you would have been stoned to death!" Sage lunged forward to attack but stopped himself, fighting to control his anger. He tried to block out all the thoughts in his head. No, what he did was right! Irene was foolish, and all he did was use it to his advantage!He took a shaky br
Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 87: Where's my lawyer?
Henry's heart sank, the color draining from his face, as he tried to understand what was going on."What do you mean by that?" Henry asked, his brow furrowing in curiosity.Sage leaned back and shook his head. "Nothing. I was just being so kind to ask about the well-being of the lawyer who is trying so hard to solve this case," He raised one eyebrow, a mischievous glint in his eyes as the corner of his mouth curved upward in a subtle smirk.Henry couldn't believe it as his brows rode up towards his hairline. He couldn't even think of the possibility. There was no way Sage could have kidnapped Nathan, could he? The thought churned his stomach, a knot forming in his gut.But how could he have kidnapped him? Doubt flashed across his face.Nathan was no fool, Henry knew that. He was a smart and vigilant individual and was not easily taken advantage of. Unless... unless Sage was very good at manipulating.He ran a hand through his hair, tugging at the strands. Without warning, he charged
Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 88: Surveying the room
Peering through the window, Henry saw a large four poster bed dressed in silk sheets. Gaudy gold furnishings filled the space. This had to be Sage's room.Henry laughed quietly. Although Sage had cheated Irene and taken her fortune, it was obvious that it wasn't enough to satisfy his greed. He couldn't afford a king-sized bed with the money he had got.Well, whether Beatrice was there or not, it was none of his business. Henry frowned, doubts creeping in. Or was his assumption wrong? That his lawyer will be in this house? But where exactly?He stood in the empty upstairs hallway, stranded. There were three doors that were ajar and were the rooms without any decorations or furniture. As for Sage's room, he also considered it useless and empty since there was no trace of human in it. Henry exhaled, running a hand through his hair. This was really confusing and as he checked around, he saw no other rooms upstairs apart from these four rooms. "If I should go down there and check, an
Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 89: Extracting the truth: In Irene's house?
As Henry listened to the voice, something about the tone told him this was not Sage nor Beatrice. Sage's tone was usually arrogant, while this one was gruff. This would definitely be one of his security guards.Henry wasted no time in asking questions."Where is Nathan? What have you done with him?" He asked hurriedly.But the guard remained silent, his gun still pointed steadily on Henry. Slowly, carefully, Henry turned his head to face the guard, eyes narrowing as they adjusted to the dim light. Shadows still obscured the guard's face. "What are you doing in here, in my boss's room?" he growled, bending his neck slightly, taking a good look at Henry.Henry raised an eyebrow as a smirk pulled at the corner of his mouth. "Boss, huh?" He scoffed, his tone sarcastic. "So Sage is now referred to as a boss? That's amusing." The title only confirmed Henry's suspicions of Sage's being no ordinary person.The guard said nothing in response, but Henry could feel the hostility radiating off o
Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 90: Walking into a trap?
Henry's brow furrowed deeper as the guard's words reached his ears. Irene's house? It didn't make sense. How could Nathan possibly be in Irene's house? Why would they take him there, even? Or was the guard trying to misdirect him? He grabbed a fistful of the guard's bloodied shirt, yanking him closer. "You do know you're making an expensive joke, right?"Something wasn't adding up.The guard let out a pained whimper, shaking his head desperately. "P-please, I swear I'm not joking. It may sound crazy but…but it's the truth. This was all a setup, a plan to get you here!"Henry's confident smile disappeared as he began to realize that the guard in front of him was serious and not joking. Henry paused, studying the bruised and bloodied man closely. Much of what had transpired today seemed insane and this was no different.But a trap, all to draw him in? How could any of this be true? Henry's mind was filled with questions. Was this a betrayal of some sort? His mind flashed back to what
Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 91: His phone was moving?
Somewhere, somehow, there must be a clue. He felt his foot hit something hard under the bloody floor. Confused, he tapped it with his knuckles and heard a hollow sound. In the midst of his fear, an idea formed.He clenched his teeth and lifted the loose floorboards, uncovering a hidden trapdoor. As he swung it open, a musty smell filled the air. His heart skipped a beat, wondering what he would meet inside.Turning on his phone's flashlight, he took a deep breath and went down into the darkness below.As he descended the creaking staircase, the smell of blood grew stronger, confirming his fears. This had to be where they held Nathan captive. But where was he now?At the bottom, he swept his phone light across the empty space, his stomach churning at the signs of violence left behind. Splashes of dried blood were on the walls, but what caused them was nowhere to be found."Nathan!" His call echoed endlessly in the vast, empty room. There was no response, only the sound of his shoes scr
Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 92: Outside the city
Henry's brow furrowed as he climbed out of the car. Just minutes ago he had searched every room in the empty house.Now Clifford claimed Nathan's phone was moving inside? None of this made any sense…unless someone was still inside.He ran his hands through his hair, fingers tangling in the strands as disbelief and confusion swirled within him. Why the heck was everything so complicated?He had never felt so stressed and confused in all his life!Rather than shrugging it off, Henry strode toward the house again, throwing open the door with such force that it banged against the wall. His eyes darted everywhere as he tried to focus. Henry scanned the couch but saw nothing. His pulse quickened as Clifford's words echoed in his mind - the phone was moving. Someone else was here. "Show yourself!" he roared. Henry suddenly became still, fully aware of his surroundings. He focused his hearing, hoping to detect any unusual sounds. He listened for a creaking floorboard or any signs of move

195. The strange smell
Henry also once felt that Caeser was the boss but then again, Simon mentioned the fact that his boss was after Caesar and he also met him when he then confirmed that he was sent a life threatening letter for stopping the weapons from entering inside Green Hill city. He scoffed. "I'm definitely sure that he isn't, Caeser is just Stella's friend who wants nothing than the power of White Group to win the next election coming up" The guard nods his head as Henry picked up his phone and dialed Irene's number and That time she picked the call. "Hey Henry, lots of things happened but I'm fine" Henry was confused as concern filled up on his face, he was already reaching his room as he opened the door awaiting her response. "The manager, I think your friend was questioning me about you, not that I'm annoyed though but I think he sounded a little mean" "Just tell what did he say to you" "He asked whether I like you or something then he was like you are meant for someone, then some

"Look, even at that you don't have to fight for it, I'm a man and I know that for sure that Henry will fight for Irene if I'm not lying she is in love with him right?" Quo asked as she doesn't even respond to him she felt it was a waste of time talking to him, she just want someone to understand her and support her with everything. "I know the answer to that already but why don't you just go rest?" She immediately grabbed him by the collar as she was just an inch closer to him feeling his breathe. "Just because we fucked doesn't mean you have the right to question me, it was a huge mistake from my side and also I think I would block your fucking number..." Before she could finish what she was saying he kissed her lips. "It was fun right?" He asked as she immediately removed her hands from his collar the cringed really hard that she felt like taking a knife and slit her throat. Immediately she left Henry's house that day, she got a call from Quo to come meet her if she h

193. The guesthouse
"I know"Henry muttered but Victor and Samson just realized it.How are they going to share the room, because there was no way one of the them would sleep on the couch, but Henry already solved this issue so he wasn't worried about it."Just continue showing us around please" The man nods his head, what was on his mind was that he would sent some boys to bring in atleast a two bed bunk so that the last two persons can sleep on them,but since Henry didn't bother he refused to bring that up again, he was just focusing on showing them each of the rooms.Henry smiled because the room was big enough and has a comfy bed, it's soft and was really a cool one, all the rooms were cleaned very well, and arranged properly, even the toilet Henry expected that it won't be that convincing but still it was okay, nothing like it was manageable, he was grateful for that, he knows that if he would tell Clifford or snap it and how it to him he would immediately change the guesthouse or atleast they will

192. Cooperative work
Samson's eyes widened in surprise, he wasn't told that it was this long, the only thing Henry told him was that, they were going to find Simon who was also the cause of his brother's death and he was determined to find him at all cost, his brother has done a lot for him so atleast what he could for him is to find his killer and maybe put him in cell or kill him. Henry scoffed as he saw in the rearview mirror how his big his eyes came out then went back to normal, his plan was that after some hours of drive almost reaching mid night then they would stay either at a hotel or guesthouse then after that the next morning would be another ride.He doesn't want to spend all the hours at the road driving while they will be all hungry and sleepy, and that's what Samson thought too as he reasoned with Henry in his mind."Well that true, I can't leave my tummy empty without having something to eat, I might end up dying if I'm trying to fight"Samson grumbled as Victor scoffed. "You can throw a

"who?" She asked as she then thought that it was Henry since he was the only person he knew that would come looking for her at the office and maybe to tell her for the fact that he wasn't going to be around."The manager Clifford" Her eyes widened as she shifted herself from the bed and sat down at the edge of the bed. "But why? Did I do something wrong?""Not really but though he was like you should come to my office immediately, he sounded so serious though"Her heart sank as she began to think where she made a mistake, but she could grasp anything bad she had ever done, she has always been a good lady with her staffs and also the director of the sales department."Look you shouldn't worry about anything okay?""Are you sure?" Irene asked because she was doubting it."Of course, if anything bad happens all of us wouldn't agree to it, you have been a good lady to all of us so I think you shouldn't worry at all, or was they something you did that I'm not aware of? "She hissed bec

190. Who's that?
He felt his heart sank as he wondered what she was doing at her place, it has been a long time now since he ever set his eyes on her, he felt so angry at this point, he prayed nothing bad happened to Irene. When they reached her house, he came down even before the driver tries coming down to open the door for him."I will be right back" Henry muttered casually so they won't see that he was so tensed up.As he walked into her small apartment, he knocked first but there was no response, he was about to say it's him but he doesn't know where she was at that moment.He took a deep breathe as he knocked again and this time he heard a sound of a key shaking close to the door as it got opened. Irene gazed up at him with her jaw clenched and her eyebrows lowered and was almost to mutter a word but then it was Henry as she chooses to calm down, her eye lit up then she slowly smiled. "Come in" Henry hesitated for a moment before he came inside, he looked thoroughly to make sure that the mat

Immediately Henry spotted him sitting down on the staircase, he walked really fast to his side, victor saw him coming as he stood with his laptop and a school bag he carried in his hand."So you are all ready right?" Henry asked as he nods his head. He was putting on a baggy jeans and a hoodie, it was winter already so that why he was dressing like that.After he opened the door and entered inside, he walked really fast upstairs like taking two stairs so he would be fast. He reached his room as he began to arrange some of his things inside his back to embark on this journey, he really hoped that it would be a success and won't end up taking lives.After he was done arranging his things, he came out of his room then as he sighed Priscilla's room he decided to check whether she was inside so that he would be able to tell her a good bye, she has his spare keys so they won't be any problem.As he peeped through the window, no one was inside, it was literally empty, he sighed as he knew

188. The lady's name.
Henry's phone begins to ring as he took it out from his pocket when he saw the name of the screen he picked it up immediately."Hello Henry, it's seems you are not at home, I'm at your doorstep now"He said with his innocent voice."Don't worry I will be back home, just give me sometime" Henry assured victor as he cut the call.He was stunned that he was already done with what he had and came early to his apartment, he was expecting them to be going at midnight, he was going with bodyguards so there was no need of worrying about security, he is also security conscious. A call came through his phone as he planned on dropping it inside his pocket then he saw the caller ID which was Ms. Stella and then picked it up."Ok already coming to pick you up, I hope you are okay because you weren't picking up your calls, Caeser said the meeting was over" Henry placed his left hand on his forehead and closed his eyes, he was actually dealing with them Ryan and Clara and that's why he didn't eve

"I think you should mind the way you talk to my wife Henry or else.."Henry blurted. "Or else what? And what did I say to her that's bad now? I don't really like the fact that you make me seem like the bad guy here""And of course you are, you have changed and she is trying to tell you how bad that is...""Is she my mum?"This made Ryan speechless, he just stared at Henry, clenching his fists and controlling himself not to give him a mark on his face. "And also isn't it you guys who stopped at my business? Why can't you just leave? Not that I'm holding you, the fuck is wrong with all of you, and what would you gain from insulting me, huh?"Clara scoffed. "Because you deserved it Henry" "Does that make any sense to you? Clara I was fucking good to you right? And I make sure you enjoyed my company, I stayed by your side and make sure that I would bear anything that you do to me, remember raining insults on me during your birthday night and I literally had to apologize, huh?"
